What are the main causes of street crime and assault?
Street crime falls into two broad categories and that is the taking of people's property and I think by some people's perception would be around violence. Violence generally starts as a disagreement, usually at night time in pubs or in clubs, which then escalates into threats of violence or acts of violence against somebody. And street crime relates to the taking of people's property and this generally falls into two categories. The first being young people of school age subjected potentially to bullying which escalates into antisocial behavior, and then potentially into situations where their property is taken from them by force. The second part of that is around people who have their property taken generally later at night in the early evenings.
